Star Wars Cosplay of the Day:
With a new Star Wars movie presenting at Comic-Con this weekend, we might as well look at some Star Wars cosplay, specifically an amazing female Sith by MissSinister (via Fashionably Geek):
Movie Poster Alternate of the Day:
Some movie postes are so iconic and well-designed that they’re not only recognizable but worth hanging on your wall without the title or main imagery on them. Here’s one for Jaws, and you can find more like this at The Film Stage blog.
Supercut of the Day:
Feel the good vibrations of the editing of this supercut of Mark Wahlberg movies:

Fan Art of the Day:
Every time I think the fan art inspired by Mad Max: Fury Road can’t get any better, something like this Muppet mash-up by Justin Ponsor comes along (via Kristen Howard):
Medium Mash-Up Fan Art of the Day:
You don’t get more highbrow in your silly fan art mash-up stuff than combining classic art with Criterion Collection Blu-rays for classic foreign films. Below, Michelangelo Antonioni‘s L’Avventura meets Frederick Morgan’s “The Proposal.” See more of Eisen Bernard’s collages at Indiewire.
Classic Cartoon of the Day:

It may be weird to fall in love with a marketing campaign, but The Hunger Games just makes it so dang easy. Instead of simply dumping a bunch of photoshopped posters of floating heads online, Lionsgate’s marketing team has consistently risen to the same level of quality of the actual movies they’re selling.
The difference between a Hunger Games poster and your average movie poster is that they’re not just a role call of who is in the movie.

We’ll be getting a ton of new posters and trailers and TV spots and whoknowswhats this week thanks to Comic-Con, but the team behind The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has just set the bar pretty high. Let’s see if anyone else can reach it.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 hits theaters on November 20, 2015. And if you’re curious about how all of these posters and trailers come to be, you should check out our interview with producer Nina Jacobson and director Francis Lawrence.
